PoP RECOMMENDS | THE NEW ROCK N ROLL : MOLLY BURCH – FIRST FLOWER

There is a pleasing new wave of music artists taking the bold step of making ‘real’ music again. The old-fashioned way, so to speak. Like Texas-based singer-songwriter Molly Burch.

It is indeed refreshing to hear music devoid of all the electronic gimmickry that scars modern pop’s attempts to truly resonate as a musical form.

Burch – and partner Dailey Toliver – have a delightful stripped down approach, keeping the arrangements minimalist in order to highlight Burch’s heartfelt tunes and vocals.

Sophomore effort First Flower, continues where the excellent debut, Please Be Mine, left off. In songs like the title track, “Candy”, “To the Boys” and the like, Burch and Toliver deliver pleasing material that touches the heart and soul of the listener effortlessly.
